Character Creation

Modded Skyrim
Soulcalibur

I'd say Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, but I don't remember their character creation that well.

Dragon's Dogma has a really cool character creator. Your height and weight even affects certain things: tall and fat people don't get knocked around as hard, but are less nimble that short and skinny characters. Shorter character can also go in small holes. You can even pick up shorter characters and throw them really far away :lol:

Out of all rpg games with character customization, Dragon's Dogma really did hit the nail. It blows TES and the Souls series out pf the water with how you could make your character look. That said with TES, the chargens are bad enough I had to use mods to make a decent looking character. Morrowind is ironically the least worst in character face gen mods since one of the mods includes a wide variety of faces and hairs.

I wish there was a detailed character avatar creator available that was the full product, separate from any game. I'm not talking about apps like Blender but one like The Sims or Saints Row that already has the easy-to-use sliders attached. It would be fun to play around with that and make your own fan art; it would appeal to casual creators who didn't want to spend 30 hours watching a tutorial video course.

If you’re looking for something that basically takes the character creator from the Sims and turns it up to 19, I’d reccomend a program called FUSE, you can download it for free, but Adobe mucked it up so it can’t export the models into anything unfortunately. Still sorta fun though?

There's no shame in just wanting a dress-up flash game, it's okay. :heart-full:

For real though, bless this thread. I love character creators in video games, it satisfies the part of me that still wants to draw self-insert fanfiction.

I can say I have enjoyed Starbound's character creator, just because you can mod it. And also pixelated jiggles. I'd love to see a game with an extensive weeaboo or furfag character creator, but alas, that's probably considered rather niche.

This might sound crazy, but I swear I'm serious.

The company Illusion is well known for their infamous rape fantasy games, no question, but they also make some of the best character creators I've ever seen.

The game Honey Select (including it's recent official English version) has such a well done character creator I've seen people spend more time making characters with it then doing anything else in that game. Some don't give three shits about the sex aspect (and you don't even have to touch that part of the game if you don't wish to), it's all about modding the character creator to produce all sorts of fictional and real life people.

Given it was made in Unity, modding the engine is not overly hard at all, and if you look around the internet, the amount of characters they managed to reproduce in that game engine with such a high degree of fidelity to their source is rather mind blowing.

I'll also bat for Honey Select. You can ignore the sex part and still have a really good character generator/dress up game. Can play around with more sliders than in a management game.

Not showing a guy actually delving into its character creation and how it ties to the plot.

I've been itching for a character creator that lets you make a proper femboi. I haven't played Dragon's Dogma or White Knight Chronicles in ages so I'm not sure if you can do it in those games. Fingers cross that the next dragon age lets you do it, or at the very least come with a breasts slider.

I actually think that's a pretty marketable niche, you could 100% sell something like that to furries if you made it in-depth and customisable enough. Ingame screenshot function with filters and different rendering styles so they can make their OC and display it in any style they choose. Make it so you can define what part of the fur is what colour and they can stick any old body part from any kind of animal anywhere. Sort of like Spore now that I think about it, and that game actually had a standalone creature creator. I can guarantee you Deviantart and FA kids would be all over that shit like a rash.

I unironically love the character creatators for the Fallout games. You can get some decent ones or hilarious things like my friend's LW who looks like she's related to Mac Night.

Same with Spore. In fact, I'm still playing it just to make cartoon cryptids.

The CC in Oblivion is infamous of how easily it is to make your PC look.
I rank it among the worst. The CC in Skyrim is leauge better than Oblivion but it is still lacking.
DA:I had an okay CC but it had shit beards. Same with ME, where it was far easier on the eyes to use the default shepard then to make your own.
 
I've played quite a few games with character creation. And by far the best ones, in order from amazing to good, are as follows.

-Jap games with CC
-Fallout 4 and Bethesda games with mods. They can give jap slooty games a run for their money.
-Dragon Age: Inquisition
-Elder Scrolls Online. It'd top other Bethesda games if you could mod it.
-Grand Theft Auto Online. An odd entry but I managed to get a decent male and female in the creator despite limitations.
-Mass Effect 2-3. Most infuriating because you feel you can make something legit but gosh darn it you barely can.

I wish more games allowed you to take your character for a "test run," if you will. Give me a room where I can test out animations, move the camera around, change the lighting, etc. This would allow you to get a better idea of how the character will actually look like in-game, rather than only letting you see your work under the "character creation mode" specific lighting (and the like).

There's been too many instances where, after a few dozen minutes, I finally finish making a character and think to myself, "It's perfect!" Then I start playing and start to notice several flaws. The forehead's too big, the nose is too small, the eyes make my character look like a chink, etc. My hard work... all for not, just because I never got a chance to see how my character would look in-game...
